PREAMBLE

1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its eighty-fourth session, revised the Code of Safetyfor Special Purpose Ships (SPS Code) adopted by resolution A.534(13) to bring it up to date withamendments to SOLAS and to extend the voluntary application of the revised Code to includetraining ships, whether or not covered by the application requirements of SOLAS.

2 The Code has been developed to provide an international standard of safety for specialpurpose ships of new construction, the application of which will facilitate operation of such shipsand result in a level of safety for the ships and their personnel equivalent to that required by theInternational Convention for the Safety at Life of Sea, 1974.

3 For the purposes of this Code, a special purpose ship is a ship of not less than 500 grosstonnage which carries more than 12 special personnel, i.e. persons who are specially needed forthe particular operational duties of the ship and are carried in addition to those persons requiredfor the normal navigation, engineering and maintenance of the ship or engaged to provideservices for the persons carried on board.

4 Because special personnel are expected to be able bodied with a fair knowledge of thelayout of the ship and have received some training in safety procedures and the handling of theships safety equipment, the special purpose ships on which they are carried need not beconsidered or treated as passenger ships.

5 In developing the safety standards for this Code it has been necessary to consider:

.1 the number of special personnel being carried; and

.2 the design and size of the ship in question.

6 While the Code has been developed for new ships of 500 gross tonnage and above,Administrations may also consider the application of the provisions of the Code to ships of lessertonnage. The term new ship has not been defined in order to give any Administrationdiscretion to decide the effective date of entry into force.

Page 3

7 For facilitating the operation of special purpose ships, this Code provides for a certificate,called a Special Purpose Ship Safety Certificate, which should be issued to every special purposeship. Where a special purpose ship is normally engaged on international voyages as defined inSOLAS it should, in addition, also carry SOLAS safety certificates, either:

.1 for a passenger ship with a SOLAS Exemption Certificate; or

.2 for a cargo ship with a SOLAS Exemption Certificate, where necessary,

as the Administration deems appropriate.

8 Noting that the Code may be readily applied to some ships that carry special personnel on boardto which SOLAS does not apply, the Maritime Safety Committee invites Administrations to apply thestandards of the Code to such ships to the extent deemed reasonable and practicable.

CHAPTER 1

GENERAL

1.1 The purpose of the Code is to recommend design criteria, construction standards andother safety measures for special purpose ships.

1.2 Application

1.2.1 Except as provided in 8.3, the Code applies to every special purpose ship of not lessthan 500 gross tonnage certified on or after 13.May 2008.

Page 8

6.2 For ships carrying more than 60 (but not more than 240) persons on board, therequirements of chapter II-2 of SOLAS for passenger ships carrying not more than 36 passengersshould be applied.

6.3 For ships carrying not more than 60 persons on board, the requirements of chapter II-2 of SOLAS for cargo ships should be applied.

CHAPTER 7

DANGEROUS GOODS

7.1 Special purpose ships sometimes carry a wide range of dangerous goods classified inaccordance with the IMDG Code for use in scientific or survey work or a variety of other

applications. These dangerous goods are often carried as ships stores and are used on board and,therefore, they are not subject to the provisions of the IMDG Code. However, dangerous goodsthat are carried on board for shipment as cargo and are not used on board, are clearly subject tothe provisions of the IMDG Code.

7.2 Notwithstanding the fact that the IMDG Code does not apply to dangerous goods carriedas ships stores and used on board, it contains provisions that are relevant to their safe stowage,handling and carriage on special purpose ships. The IMDG Code also contains requirements forelectrical equipment, wiring, fire-fighting equipment, ventilation, smoking provisions andrequirements for any special equipment. Some of the provisions are general and apply to allclasses of dangerous goods, whilst others are specific, e.g., Class 1 Explosives.

7.3 Therefore, it is important to take into account the appropriate provisions of the IMDG Code when planning to carry dangerous goods, so that the relevant provisions can betaken into account to ensure appropriate construction, loading, stowage, segregation and carriageprovisions are put into place.

7.4 Although the IMDG Code does not apply to ships stores, the master and persons onboard the ship responsible for the use of ships stores should be aware of the provisions of the IMDG Code and should apply them as best practice whenever possible.

7.5 The issues of stowage, personal protection and emergency procedures when dangerous

goods are in use, and the subsequent stowage of opened dangerous goods, should be addressedthrough a formal safety assessment. In addition to the IMDG Code, to carry out such a formalsafety assessment, suppliers and safety data sheets for the dangerous goods should also beconsulted.

7.6 The provisions of the IMDG Code are based on intact and unopened packaging and theremoval of explosive articles or substances from a complete pack may invalidate its IMDG Codeclassification. This aspect should be taken into account when carrying out the formal safetyassessment to ensure an equivalent level of safety is maintained when dangerous goods remainafter use.
